Employment

Lead Web Developer

Quocific

2012 - 2013

Quocific creates on-line web applications that help customers make informed decisions. I worked on a product that helps users decide which conveyancer to contact when buying or selling property.

Set up a backend for the app using NodeJS that includes an API for authentication, searching, and mailing.

Created a MongoDB database to contain over half a million records of property transactions that were collected from the UK registry. The app's rating and search system is based on this data.

Wrote the frontend for the application to be compatible with iOS (iPad, iPhone, iPod), Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer.

Included functionality in the frontend to handle both touch and mouse swiping, saving all inputs to LocalStorage.

Used HTML5 geolocation API and a simple algorithm to implement a proximity search feature for real estate firms and properties.

Technologies: JavaScript, CSS, HTML, NodeJS, BackboneJS, MongoDB

Lead Frontend Developer

Bullingdon Research Limited

2012 - 2012

Worked on a data-visualization app for finance experts consisting of 27 pages and 9 page types. Incorporated multiple HTML5 features to create an elegant design.

Refactored the frontend JavaScript code base to improve performance and simplify the code.

Implemented a style make-over, using PSD delivered by the lead designer. Created all templates by hand and did on-demand pixel fitting with the designer.

Implemented CSS pre-processing, allowing the team to use the more elegant LESS language, reducing the code base even more, and making future refactoring jobs easier.

Built a cover page for marketing purposes with a price calculator and a video viewer (using Youtube).

Created a CSV uploader / editor / processor to be used when financial experts want to add custom data to their data sets.

Included an easy viewer-to-editor toggle feature, allowing all fields to be edited.

Implemented an account system.

Allowed the app to create backups of all data, which can be downloaded and saved on the server.

Wrote functionality allowing the list to be sorted, filtered and searched through. The algorithm used allowed for misspellings of words.

Technologies: PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS

Dutch Didit B.V.

2011 - 2012

Created a predication game with leader boards, monthly prizes, score calculations, questions and answers, account system and support for multiple languages. This app was later sold to a leading Dutch newspaper.

Wrote all HTML / CSS for both the mobile and desktop version of the app using the PSD given by the lead designer.

Wrote all Javascript and and included support for multiple pages and integration of the HTML5 history API.

Yipiy is a Dutch online prediction game. Users can play by answering two out of four questions about events taking place the upcoming day. Four new questions are posted daily. Users can add friends, view the top players and their scores, and win prizes at the end of each month when the rounds are finished.
